Specialty Definition: Dip

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

In the context of geology, stratigraphic dip is defined as the maximum angle from the horizontal in the plane of a stratigraphic unit. The direction in which the dip should be measured is known as the dip-direction. If the surface of the unit is not accessible (for instance, only a cross-section of the unit is visible, as in a cliff-face), only the apparent dip can be measured.

In the field, the dip-direction is commonly identified using either a clinometer, or by pouring water on the surface of the rock(if it is accessible) and observing the direction of flow. For any inclined surface, there will also be two directions of zero-dip. The direction that is anti-clockwise of the dip-direction is known as the strike.

Dual in-line package

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

In electronics, a Dual In-line Package (DIP), sometimes called a DIL package, is an electronic device package with a rectangular housing and a row of electrical connecting pins along each of two opposite sides, usually the longer sides of the rectangle.

Note: DIPs may be used for integrated circuits, like microprocessors, or for discrete components such as resistors or toggle switches. A typical DIP may be a microcircuit package with two rows of seven vertical leads that is specially designed for mounting on a printed circuit board.

Business

A research project prepared in 1999, funded by the Environment Agency, revealed that an estimated 78,086 cubic meters of sheep dip is the most significant annual volume of hazardous waste produced in livestock farming. (references)

For purposes of comparison, one cubic meter of diluted dip weighs approximately one ton. Organo-phosphates in sheep dip have been blamed for degenerative diseases in workers who have regularly been exposed to these chemical products. (references)

The U.K. nutritional supplements market totaled almost $583 million in 1998, down slightly from 1996. This dip was due mainly to recent skepticism about nutritional supplement safety and efficacy, as well as the proliferation of lower-priced private label products. (references)
